hey I was arguing over what was the best graphics card out today I heard from an uncle of mine who has a twenty thousand dollar pc and such that there is a card out that costs over $2000 it is very hard to find, and not sold in stores you need connections to find it anyone of you ever heard of it? I was thinking of getting it if I could oh well

Oooo. A mystery graphics card worth $2000. No name, no description, not sold in any normal stores Sure I've heard about it!

 

I'm afraid you got to be a bit more specific before anyone can give any sort of resonable reply.

There's plenty of uber-expensive hardware one can buy if one has the cash.

 

Surprisingly () the domestic market is not the only one driving the progress of computer technology.

Indeed - I've recently installed some sound cards in PC's at work that cost around £3,000 each.

 

I've also installed one £7,000 graphics card in our graphics department.

 

Expensive hardware is very common but isn't advertised in the same way as the standard stuff. I don't think they are kept secret and only sold to those who are 'connected'. If I made a piece of hardware I would want everybody to buy it!

Conventional advertising would be a waste of money for the 7,000 priced video card and the likes, because their target audience is so small and centered exclusively in high end studios.

20k pc? What in the world are you planning to do with a 20k pc or even a 2k graphic card? You can get ones that play basically any game out there for $250. A 2k graphic card wow. Do you even know the capabilites of such a card? wow.......wow

[mossoi]

Very expensive graphics cards are usually expensive because they have video inpute/output capability. The actual display adapter is often no better than a normal video card.

And, if you have a crummy monitor, it's worthless.
